Compared to previous generations, the "post 90s" benefited from widening the generation most education opportunities, with over 85% of them attending high school and almost 40% with receptive to new technology tertiary education (based on 2014 data). Another distinctive feature of this generation is the proliferation of the internet: they are the most receptive generation to new technology. Thus, this generation is clearly much more comfortable with cyberspace—no matter whether they are shopping there, making friends there or speaking their minds there. What does this mean for China? Life and consumption activities and the "post 90s" generation have been linked with the Life and consumption internet. About 60% of the "post 90s" spend more than three hours per day surfing the activities and the "post 90s" internet via smartphones, and can handle most of their daily tasks through about 50 apps generation have been linked on their mobile phones. We think they probably are the first generation of Chinese who with the internet would be willing to spend most of their money on services rather than goods. In this report, we discuss the relationship of internet with various business sectors from our analysts, as well as some emerging consumer trends. Specifically, they are quite at home with e- commerce (both goods and services) and internet finance due to their familiarity with cyberspace, and they tend to demand more customised products (like cars) and services (travel). Also, due to the demographic change and advanced education, automation and robotics will be key trends. Also, given their rising social consciousness, environmental protection will be another key development. Detailed comments on individual sectors will be shown from pages 21 t0 114.
